Hello from Saskatchewan!

Just getting set up with my smoker my wife bought me for Christmas, yup, a month early!  She wanted me to try making my own jerky etc. from the deer I took this year vs sending it out.  Forum looks great!

Another Saskatchwanian! Hello and welcome!

Are you planning to smoke in the garage or shed and pipe smoke outside?  I did a pulled pork last sunday for the Rider game and was able to keep the temp up to 225F with my smoker outside, but not much higher than that.  Any colder and I'm not sure it will get up to temp.  I'll have to look at moving it somewhere, but not sure where yet.

Thanks!  I have been looking at a few options for indoor smoking.  I have a chimney in my shop that was used for a wood burning stove I used to have.  I was wondering if that would work in conjunction with range hood / exhaust fan set up?

Welcome to the forum. the range hood and old chimney should work just fine
